Gausman (3-5) took the win against Washington on Sunday, hurling seven innings and giving up one run on five hits and no walks while striking out eight.
EDGE Analysis
In his first major-league start since landing on the IL due to plantar fasciitis on June 11, Gausman stifled the Nationals through seven innings, allowing only a trio of singles. He exited after allowing back-to-back hits leading off the eighth, with one of those baserunners coming around to score the only run charged to Gausman in the game. The 28-year-old was successful largely due to his efficiency, as he threw 63 of 83 pitches for strikes and did not walk a batter for only the second time this season. Gausman struggled to the tune of a 6.21 ERA prior to his stint on the IL but posted a 2.87 ERA and 5-3 record in 10 starts with Atlanta last season. He'll look to build upon Sunday's gem in his next scheduled start, a road battle against the Phillies on Saturday.

Gausman (foot) was activated from the injured list ahead of Sunday's start against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Things didn't go well for Gausman prior to his injury, and he will now get a chance to turn his season around in advance of the trade deadline. He logged a 6.21 ERA and 4.61 xFIP in 13 starts, striking out 64 in 62.1 innings. If he does not show some signs of turning things around, it's possible that the Braves could trade for someone to replace him in the rotation.

Gausman (foot) is listed as the Braves' scheduled starter for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves will officially activate Gausman from the 10-day injured list ahead of the series finale, with the right-hander rejoining the rotation as a replacement for the recently demoted Bryse Wilson. Gausman has been brutal over 62.1 innings in the big leagues this season (6.21 ERA, 1.51 WHIP), but he drew positive reports coming out of his three-start rehab stint in the minors, per David O'Brien of The Athletic. In his final outing Monday with Triple-A Gwinnett, Gausman fired seven innings and gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out 10.

Gausman (foot) allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out 10 over six innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This was Gausman's third and presumably final rehab appearance. He threw 104 pitches, with the only real blemish a homer he allowed to Logan Morrison in the second inning. Look for Gausman to slot back into the Braves' starting rotation Sunday against Washington, supplanting Bryse Wilson.

Gausman (foot) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman has missed over a month with plantar fasciitis. He's made two rehab starts so far, allowing four runs (three earned) in 11 innings while recording a 9:1 K:BB. He already reached six innings in his most recent rehab outing, so there's a good chance Tuesday's appearance will be his final one before he's back in the big leagues.

Gausman (foot) will advance his rehab assignment to Double-A Mississippi on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman allowed three runs on five hits in five innings of work in his first rehab start for High-A Florida, striking out six while walking one. He's been out for exactly a month but doesn't appear to be far from returning, as he threw 72 pitches in his previous start and should surpass that number Thursday.

Gausman (foot) will start a rehab assignment Friday at High-A Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman took part in a simulated game Sunday and is now set for the final stage of his rehab work. The 28-year-old could make a couple rehab starts in the minors and rejoin the Braves shortly after the All-Star break. A return to the starting rotation certainly isn't guaranteed given Gausman's 6.21 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 13 starts.

Gausman (foot) will take part in a simulated game Sunday, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first update on Gausman's status since he landed on the injured list earlier this month, but his recovery has apparently been going as planned, as no setbacks have been reported. The Braves figure to determine Gausman's next step after observing him Sunday.

Gausman was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman was pulled after allowing four runs (two earned) over 2.1 innings Monday night, so it seems likely that his foot issue played a role in his disastrous outing. A.J Minter was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Gausman gave up four runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out four through 2.1 innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
A horrific third inning that featured his own throwing error and a three-run home run led to the early exit for Gausman. The 28-year-old has struggled mightily through 13 starts with a 2-5 record and a 6.21 ERA. Gausman will look to get back on track Saturday against the Phillies.
